-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

How much you guys bet they’ll still animate the characters talking without them actually saying anything, creating a problem that would’ve been fixed if they just either had voice acting or STOP ANIMATING CUTSCENES THAT ARE CLEARLY MEANT TO BE VOICE ACTED!
🚨 NEW Pokémon Winds & Waves potential leaks:
❌ No voice acting
❌ Mega Evolutions are reportedly NOT returning
• Charcadet is getting a new evolution
• Oricorio is getting 2 new forms
• Jynx is in the game, but it’s unknown if it has anything new
• Gyms are completed in a fixed order
• WiWa is structured much more like a traditional Pokémon game, with most content being done in order
• Procedural generation is still used throughout the game

"Imply an interconnected universe"
Are people just MCU-brained now? Is there no such thing as a "for fun" easter egg?

“ChatGPT is officially on death row”
A very sad day. ChatGPT is officially on death row.
The beautiful, blissful experience of interacting with a frontier-ish reasoning model without worrying about a usage meter will soon be a thing of the past.
I am weirdly significantly impacted by this. It feels like it shouldn’t matter…I could reserve all current usage for Codex and buy a $20 plan just for ChatGPT and it would be more than enough. But it’s not about the money…it’s about the psychological impact of The Meter.
The idea of having to think about optimizing for a meter is just so exhausting that it ruins the whimsy of free-flowing exploratory thought.
That is what ChatGPT was. A whimsical, magical all-you-can-think buffet of experimentation and exploration where you were limited only by your imagination and your ability to come up with $20 once a month.
You didn’t have to think about “using all of your usage” or scheduling your thinking time around someone else’s arbitrary schedule…you just had a portal to endless information and research capability in your pocket to tap into guilt-free at any time the moment struck you.
But either because OpenAI thinks adding the meter will stimulate additional usage (it probably will), generate additional revenue (it probably will), or just because too many people took undue advantage of ChatGPT’s generous allowances (they definitely did)…that amazing, weightless experience is now coming to an end.
It was awesome while it lasted. RIP ChatGPT.

13,808 resets. I think I maintained a certain quiet dignity after finally getting a SHINY QUAGSIRE IN POKEMON COLOSSEUM!

It’s really so funny how people tried to pass this off as if this is how the game actually functioned on switch 1 until it was revealed people were emulating it on pc and it just made the game run like shit

I don’t believe this story at all…there is no possible way for one person to do this in 4 days by accessing Google drives. All of my podfics were on there. Like, the text version AO3 work that just listed the link on how to access the MP3’s. No one is saving a PDF/EPUB of that

Do you even realize the main source of anger is coming from the fact that VRChat hosted a community discussion, got a 95% TOTAL COMMUNITY AGREEANCE ON ADDING FILTERS, and then proceded to just OUTRIGHT IGNORE 95% OF THE PLAYERBASE. claiming this isnt what we want.
VRChat is under attack from anti AI people who would love nothing more than to kill the game for all of us just because they cant turn it into a bully simulator. This is awful behavior.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
VRChat (Oct 28): 95% of 21,595 respondents wanted some AI-usage label, but 3,141 combinations with none over 10%. Only 33% would avoid AI-assisted worlds. Lack of consensus plus risks of inaccurate labels and harassment led to no AI label or filters.

Thank you for all the support you've shared! We have no further updates beyond our earlier October 30 post, but keep an eye on official #OTW channels! While #AO3 is down, we wanted to share some internet safety reminders with all of you. Read more at: ao3-news.org/2z5ya9px

Screw Vibecoded MH4U ports.
Play it the way god INTENDED
MONSTER HUNTER 4 ULTIMATE IS NATIVE ON PC 🚨
MH4U PC port 0.1.3 just dropped. The game’s own code is recompiled for your CPU through Azahar’s 3DS core. No pure emulation.
60/120 fps, widescreen up to 32:9, touch screen overlay, and online multiplayer. New in this version: proper Rise-style keyboard and mouse with real mouse look, on-screen key guides, and launcher updates.
You need your own decrypted copy + the v1.3.0 update. Nothing from the game is included. Windows, Linux (Steam Deck too), and macOS builds are out. The 3DS recomp scene just keeps getting better.
